The Homewerks Press Ball Valve is constructed of heavy forged brass with press connections on both ends. It is designed for residential or commercial use. The quarter-turn lever handle provides easy and reliable shut-off. This press valve is installed with commercially available VUS profile crimp tools (available for purchase or rental). The double O-ring press crimp connections have pressure ratings that far exceed comparable push-to-connect valves. The corrosion resistance and lead-free construction make it suitable for potable water applications.
